ington to-day received a deputation, and
in his address made, an elaborate reply to
Mr.. Gladstone's recent statements respect
ing tho reported existence OF disputes on
the Irish question in the Liberal Cabinet
in 1885. Lord Harrington says there we're
serious disputes, and that he frequently
wished to resign from the Cabinet, but
yielded to Mr.. Gladstone's strong remon.
strances in the Ministry.
The Marquis, continuing, challenged
Mr.. Gladstone to obtain the Queens con-
sent to have the Cabinet proceedings Of
the period referred to published 80 that
the public could see for itself the nature
Of the differences in the Cabinet, and who
were on ono side and who on The other.

convict leases be abolished and that the
convicts be put upon the public works.
He declares the agitation for the payment
OF the repudiated bonds to be miHchiev.

Textile Workers pro,rre,,lye Union.

PHILADELPHIA, July 5.-The convention
OF the textile Workers Progressive Union,
which has been in session here several
days, has practically completed its work.
The convention decided to make applica-
ton to have the union join the confedera-
ton Of Trades Union. A resolution was
passed recommending that whenever prac.
tical the union and its assemblies shall act
INDEPENDENTLY in politics and to take such
action in political affairs, local and ma.
tional, as will best serve to promote the
object Of the organization, which is to pro.
tect the members from the expressions of
capital and to promote the general welfare
Of the laboring classes. The committee on
the new constitution reported in favor OF
such change in the organs Of the union
as would give local assemblies entire con.
troll over the Inauguration or settlement
OF strikes as we'll as the power to settle ali
trade disputes, the Executive Committee
only to advise and to act as the agent OF
the local bodies. The headquarters Of tho

The Next Cardinal.

Cry OF ME1ico, July 5.-There is a
general belief in, Mexico that the next
Cardinal appointed on this side Of the
Atlantic will be Mexican Archbishop.
y The Roman Catholics claim 1851 900
communicants in the Republic, while the
population is about 10. 100000. President
Diaz is not unfliendly toward the church
so long as it does not interfere in politics.
& It Is believed that the red hat will fall
to Archbishop Lab6stida, the head Of the
Catholic Church in Mexico, but 1t is said
that this mark Of favor will not be the re-
suit OF a desire at Rome to honor Mexico,
but simply to honor Labsstida, who has
endured exile and drawn largely from his
private fortune on account Of the church
in that country. I 5 81 ,.;5.I{l!
